Time to turn around. Ice in...
Time to turn around. Ice in the upper portions of the Northwest Couloir Route made it to dangerous to proceed since I didn't bring my ice axe and crampons. Early September 1996.

I had my ice axe and crampons back at camp but for some stupid reason, I didn't bring them. I was so pissed being only 200 ft. from the summit. I probably thought about it for a while, but then made a smart decision to turn around. It might have been a good thing that I didn't have my ice axe. That may have gotten me into trouble since I was solo that day.
